Note that you'd get similar output if you'd queue on the internal interface, so make really sure you're queuing on the external one (like, unplug the external cable, check ifconfig -a for link status, or similar). Also, for this to work, all traffic to the uplink must pass through the pf box. If any box can use the uplink without going through pf, it can saturate it without pf being able to prioritize. So make sure that the pf box is the only one connected to the uplink. Then check the bandwidth setting, I suppose you read the instructions about how to pick the right number. Maybe you haven't found the right value yet. Try lowering it. You should at least notice that the value is limiting your upload speed. If that's not visible, something is wrong. Daniel
